Excellent image with your 6”
Lots of detail and bright crisp stars
I envy you being in far western rural Victoria with unpolluted skies
I’m based in Sydney with Bortle 8 skies , I’m at the bottom of a hill almost at sea level and double storey houses either side of me with their outside lights left on all night , my FOV is only east from 35 deg up,north from 40 deg up and northwest from 40 deg up , just great for astrophotography hey. I make the most of it though
On the other hand I am fortunate to have a holiday home on the south coast NSW which has Bortle 3/4 skies and good FOV N S E W from 25 deg up , so I shouldn’t complain too much
Keep sending those great images with your 6”
Cheers
